Your code is a little confusing (what is the point of initialize? What does dummyvoid do? Why is $row a global variable?) but I think this will do what you want.

my $prev_team = '';
while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
  if ($row->{team} eq $prev_team) {
    print "\t$row->{idx}\n";
  } else {
    print "$row->{team}\t$row->{idx}\n";
  }
  $prev_team = $row->{team};
}

Update: Hofmator points out (correctly) that this only works if your SQL query sorts by team name.
